Preference primaries

edit

Like many minor parties, PFP holds a non-binding "preference primary" for President. The PFP presidential candidate is ultimately selected by the PFP State Convention, at which only State Executive Committee (SEC)[a] members can vote.[9][10][11][12][13][14] The SEC is directly elected through write-ins in the California primary system[14] every two years.[15] The SEC had about 130 members in 2024[13] and 90 in 2008.[14]

Since January 2001, California has had a "modified" closed primary system in which political parties can determine whether or not to allow voters who are not affiliated with any party, or No Party Preference, are allowed to participate in the party's primary. Since the 2004 primaries, PFP has never allowed "independent" voters to vote in their party's primaries.[16]

Ideology

edit

PFP is a socialist party "committed to feminism, [...] democracy, ecology, and racial equality",[17] PFP strongly supports environmentalism, aboriginal rights, LGBT rights, abortion rights, public healthcare, public education, and subsidized housing.[17] PFP is Anti-Zionist.[18]

History

edit

Founding

edit

After the 1967 Century City anti-Vietnam War march on June 23, 1967, anti-war and civil rights supporters began collecting petitions for the Peace and Freedom Party. PFP's founders opposed the Democratic Party's support for the war in Vietnam and saw the Democrats as failing to effectively support the civil rights movement.[19]: 761 [20]: 121 [21]

On January 2, 1968, PFP organizers submitted 105,100 signatures to receive party status in California.[19]: 761  PFP has had ballot access in California since 1968, except between 1998 and 2002.[20]: 128  In 2003, PFP became the first party in the history of California to regain its ballot status.[22]

In 1968, PFP suffered a minor split: Dick Gregory and others split to create the Freedom and Peace Party (FPP), for which Gregory ran in the 1968 United States presidential election.[23] The FPP collapsed after the 1968 election.

In the 2006 California elections, two statewide Peace and Freedom Party candidates received more than the required vote, thus ensuring the party's ballot status for another four years (Elizabeth Cervantes Barron received 212,383 votes, 2.5% of the total, for Controller;[24][non-primary source needed] and Tom Condit received 187,618 votes, 2.2% of the total, for Insurance Commissioner).[25][non-primary source needed]

California's 2018 gubernatorial primary had statewide office candidates registered in the party. In the race for Insurance Commissioner, Peace and Freedom candidate Nathalie Hrizi received 316,149 votes, 5.0% of the total.[26][non-primary source needed]

Election results

edit

The PFP has fielded over 200 electoral candidates in the United States for local, state, and federal offices. PFP candidates usually run as official PFP candidates on their own ballot line.

No PFP candidate has yet won a contested election.

In 2016, both PFP's California state chair and Green candidate Jill Stein requested that the California Secretary of State allow them to be placed on the party's ballot, but this was rejected.[41] Instead, PFP nominated Party for Socialism and Liberation candidate Gloria La Riva.[28]

In 2012, Rocky Anderson won a plurality of delegates in the PFP's non-binding preference primary. However, he failed to win representatives on the PFP's Central Committee, and withdrew.[12] Instead, the PFP backed Roseanne Barr, who was supported by the Party for Socialism and Liberation.[11] Anderson would later join the Justice Party.

In 2008, the PFP endorsed Ralph Nader, an Independent, in his presidential campaign.[42][43] Other contenders were Gloria La Riva (nominee of the Party for Socialism and Liberation), Cynthia McKinney (nominee of the Green Party) Brian Moore (nominee of the Socialist Party), and Ralph Nader (independent). Among convention delegates, results were the following: Nader (46%), La Riva (27%), Moore (10%), and McKinney (6%).[44] The Nader campaign submitted sufficient signatures to appear on the Iowa and Utah ballots as the Peace and Freedom Party candidate. This was the first expansion of the party beyond California since the 1970s.[45] However, the party did not achieve the votes necessary to guarantee ballot access in Iowa and Utah in subsequent elections.

In 2000, PFP did not qualify for the ballot in California.[46]

In 1988, the Internationalist Workers Party, New Alliance Party, and Socialist Party USA sought the party's ballot line. The factions within the PFP could not agree on a candidate and did not have a candidate for the election.[20]: 126–128 [46]
